Reprieve for Aussie priest comes at same time as Bainimarama telling camp he'll stand in 2014

The country's unelected prime minister has told camp he will contest the 2014
elections, the same day he has allowed the Catholic priest he threatened and tried to deport to stay on. Voreqe Bainimarama announced at camp this morning that he will standinnext year's elections.

Soon after it was revealed he had reversed the earlier decision to have Father Kevin Barr deported.

Father Barr, who has worked in Fiji for 32 years, was forced to take
refuge in the Australian High Commission yesterday after he was told the
Minister of Defence wanted to 'talk with him'.

He was expected to be either deported last night or Sunday. The regime now
says he can stay despite yesterday rulingBarr's work permits
had run out and he was a 'prohibited migrant.'

Bainimarama says the decision was made after representations on behalf of Father Barr. Publicity about Barr's treatment and deportation would not have served Bainimarama well.

Despite criticism for supporting the regime, Barr has received high
praise and support after he revealed Bainimarama abused him via phone
and text saying 'Fuck U arsehole' after he questioned 'tongue in cheek'
plans for a new flag in a letter to the Fiji Sun. The regime's
political plans, including candidates and the name of its party, have
become more significant since the introduction of a decree which gives
political parties just 28 days to re-register and to qualify for the
2014 elections.

C4.5 is seeking more details about the
announcement at camp today but we're told it was made this morning with
Bainimarama saying he will contest the polls.

It is a common trait of dictators that they want to stay in power for life and bai is no exception. So everything is starting to materialise with this latest development. All their activities such as rejecting the Ghai draft constitution and creating one of their own, issuing of restrictive decrees etc are all part of the conspiracy to hijack the election process with the aim of winning it by hook or by crook. So we will see a string of announcements, decrees being dished out in the build up towards elections in 2014. What we can foresee is there will be interference by the army if some other parties win.

Keep tabs on the locales that he pays most 'campaign' attention to...that may point to the constituency he will hide behind.

If the RFMF is still deluded about Bainimarama standing down as Commander, it is/was never going to happen - he knows from whence his 'security' cometh from. Now we wait for his draft of the constitution to put it all into plsy snd further decimate his political competition.

editorThe Father Kevin Barr deportation case - now you are deported now you are not - makes one thing manifestly clear: Fiji is a banana republic governed by third rate rulers.The people are at the mercy of the whim of the rulers rather then the rule of law.What a shame?There was a time when Fiji was a reasonably decent democracy. It's nascent democracy was by no means ideal but it made for a reasonably decent society compared to many others around the world.Fiji has clearly gone backwards.The pothole riddled road in Tovata (Fiji Sun letter 26/1) is quite symbolic.sincerely,Rajend Naidusydney

Bai is an evil, corrupt, greedy dictator. His treatment of Fr Barr just confirms it. He is there for himself only. Filling his pockets with Chinese money. That's why he was so riled by reference to chinese.

In a shocking development yesterday Father Kevin Barr was barred from the Bananas Republic Bar. Their chief of Security and head Bouncer Mr. JokerAndaSinger announced “Father Barr was made a Prohibition Imbiber today. That means that we have thrown him out of the bar and he will never be allowed to come back into the bar because Barr has been barred from the bar.”

Father Barr said “I cannot understand why this has happened it seems to be a complete over reaction. The other day I was doodling on a Bananas Republic Beer Mat. I drew a Jaina on the design. Suddenly the owner of the bar Frankly Bananas went barr-nanas. He started swearing at me using language that I cannot possible repeat. He then told me to start saying good bye to the other patrons of the bar as I would be leaving shortly and would never be allowed back.”

“I was scared so I contacted the Excellent Highly Commissioned beer salesman, Glenn Miller Lite, from the Australian Brewers to let him know his barr-els were being mistreated. Someone leaked this complaint and Frankly Bananas heard about it. The next thing I knew was JokerAndaSinger telling me I was a Prohibition Imbiber and barred for life”

Father Barr continued “I was very sad as I had made my home in the Bananas Republic Bar. I had lived there very happily for over 30 years. I had fathered many children, not in the biblical sense but as a father figure and they had all taken my name and called themselves the Barr-ow Boys.”

“As I was being removed from the back entrance of the bar, an animal Baaahhed. I looked around and saw a criminal looking man doing disgusting things with a goat.”

Today the story is different as bar owner Frankly Bananas announced that Father Barr was no longer barred from the bar as he was disbarred.

Rajesh 'Bullshit Artist' Singh enough of your tabetabe you liar, you promised to donate you MP salary before election, then greed got the better of you and you kept. Screw all you bullshit excuses and justifications, you are a liar and a conman, full stop, not to be trusted.

Fellow blogger Discombobulated Bubu has spotted some Fiji Sun misinformation. Apparently, the regime mouthpiece is saying Australia is softening its stance by taking all of Fiji's Ginger but the following report says the opposite!

The biggest mistake was getting him dragged down the cassava patch to Namadai Settlement and peeing his pants, that really changed him he became the embodiment of hate after that experience and you can sometimes pick that up on some of his remarks that he makes. He got hurt badly in and out. I feel sorry for him the 2000 mutiny changed a quite humble soldier to a tyrannical cold hearted person and Ratu Epeli Ganilau knew that very well.In fact he recommend the guy for commander he knew that he would follow what he was told to do, can't say he was a yes man but he knew his place then but it all had to come crashing in during the mutiny. Something that has been carved into his brain and he will never forget, Frank Bainimarama if you are reading this bro, "You live by the sword, you die by the sword". GOD BLESS FIJI.

Teimumu Kepa doesn't even acknowledge her son from Henry Manulevu who is brought up and still in Cuvu, Nadroga before she met the late Sailosi Kepa. she was screwing Lenora Qereqeretabua's husband. Does that make her the mother of the nation Rajesh? How can she run a nation when she is ruining other peoples life. No moral values I would say.

THERE WILL BE NO ELECTION...do you think that he would put himself in a position where he is at the mercy of the people..he is already in power do you think he is going to give that up he has tasted honey from rags to riches..no way he has all ready shown the person he is...folk tongue..get real people...power to the people

The reversal of the decision to deport the priest might be because of the threat of international public opinion from catholics who should and could refrain from visiting FIJI as a tourist area.I can think of other better pacific islands to visit - while the banana rules.God bless all the other pacific islands.

Don't talk about Berebasaga because she is the chief of Rewa and we were only grouped together by the colonial masters. Rewa never conquered Nadroga and Kadavu. We want our democratic freedom to choose who we want and not some f&@$ken chief who wants free chow and mats and money at the expense of her subjects.

Rajesh saidKomai you are a masipolo of the regime.so keep sucking the lolly pop.time will come when sdl/flp will win the election and your hero will be begging for mercy from the chiefs to save them from jail term.they already begging for immunity now. thats why they have ditch the ghai cc report.people are fed up of army and coup.thats why people said no immunity in ghai cc reports go read it on cc report on its website.people want freedom/democracy and will vote sdl/flp not regime thugs .who have stole freedom/democracy , gcc/culture and land.Komai you dont have the mandate to stop me or Ro Kepa to stand in the election.So i tell you keep dreaming you fool .you are a idiot like the regime boss.Komai go tell your army to put the gun down and march to the village than see what bati will do to them.Fijian are used to destroy fijians think Komai what others are doing to Fiji/fijians.god bless fiji.Rajesh.

Army boys were laughing in the night club drinking and swearing at frank,mosese and khaiyum .one ex fiji 7s rep said frank is nut and ruled by khaiyum.f bastard army will vote sdl.he said we are used by the boss but no will force or see us voting ..we will tick the ruve.like we did in 2006 election..we are fijian not muslim.

Frank want to be president .so he dont end up in jail.khaiyum want to be ag /pm mosese want to be commander .they said we rig the election. if not mosese is ready to do another coup.the army boys expose the plan when they are drunk in night club.so you can get lot of info in night club.birdland/traps/others.

@ Bina Dharam LingamI don't know if "fiji is behind bainimarama" for president but you certainly are.YOU ARE AN IDIOT. And that is confirmed because for you bainimarama standing in the elections is the "best news" you have heard.You are a PATHETIC ARseholE!

D LINGAM is army goon dan. he has changed his name like his boss vorqe to frank.mosese fisher to tikoitonga.so the circus is going on .army boss on panic mode now.sdl out played them so khaiyum is angry.words in the market/village sdl/flp will win the election by 98% .army intel been reporting to the boss so seems election will be called off or rigged for sure.last word masipolo mosese said boss i am ready to do another coup as directed by master khaiyumand you boss..

Rajesh as I said earlier that you are stupid and I stand by my statement. No one has begged for nothing. You can not contest in any election for the reason of Insanity and stupidity. You have to establish you residency in Fiji prior to registering your candidacy. Remember you’re a sacked Assistant Minister so your character is questionable. You have outstanding bad cheques that you wrote and yet not cleared. It is now a crime to write bad cheque. You will need to serve time as a guest of Fiji Government at Hotel Naboro. Since you will have a criminal record, you will not qualify. Do I make myself perfectly clear?

If D Lingum is army goon dan or whatever that would NOT surprise me one bit. I always knew he was a shithead army type or a regime lackey.I mean look at it! The regime gets a shithead like D Lingum aka dan to promote itself.What IDIOTS!

Komai produce the cheq .i didnt write any cheques in Fiji.hahaha.Stop you bull shit.I have no intension to stand in the election and dont worry i didnt do any crime to end in naboro. so keep harping your bs and fork tounge.i was there till 2011 why didnt the police charged me like others. i was sacked for fighting for spg report 2003.go check the report with frank/ficac spg audit report 2007.I won komai so people like you have no brain and are masipolo puffter that is good for sukuna park hehehe.I dont have to defend my self the world and fiji know what i have done.so i dont care what you say pussy qori.

David Pfliger was paid money to switch to Airbus. A reported $2 million a plane. Now that the first plane is about to be delivered and problems Air Pacific / Fiji Airways problems starts, he is ready to fly the coup. FICAC alert and Immigration needs to stop him from leaving Fiji.

Rajesh id you are so confident, there should be anything stopping you from returning to Fiji. Also may I remind you the residency requirement states that you need to be living in Fiji for 2 years continuously prior to election. So there you go STUPID. Hope you get this in your thick head. As far as you cheques go, We will show and tell you upon your arrival in Fiji. Which I know will never happen. You are not man enough to step your foot on Fijian soil. So “QORI” eat shit and stink up NZ.

Editor,I refer to your article 'Fr Barr ordered to leave Fiji" (Fiji Sun 26/1). Every man and his dog following Fiji politics know that the "directive from the Minister of Immigration Jokatani Cokanasiga" for fr Barr to leave Fiji by Sunday 27/1 " on the grounds that Fr Barr had breached his work permit terms and conditions" is BULLSHIT!Fr Barr was ordered to be kicked out of the country by its military dictator Frank Bainimarama because Frank was pissed off that Fr Barr an erstwhile supporter of his regime had recently become "anti-Government"This information was already in the public domain when the phony deportation directive was issued by the puppet Minister of Immigration.Just who are these unelected rulers trying to fool?Fr Barr has lived and worked for the poor and underprivileged in Fiji for 32 years. Human decency demands that he be given more then the two or three days he was given to pack up and leave even under that phony deportation order.But I suppose human decency is too much to expect from a ruthless regime who's power is derived through the barrel of the gun.This too is a well known fact in the public domain.Sincerely,rajend naidusydney

Anon 9.35am says:"Frank needs catholic voters, he has to be seen as frank the merciful by international community as per QORVIS advise"

People of Fiji including Catholics are not fooled one bit by the ruthless psycho-tyrant dictating terms in their country for far longer than a democratically elected govt.

When time comes closer to elections, this entire distasteful episode (as well as others) will be played out so that everyone is reminded of what could lie ahead in the hands of the dictator and his team of kanaloto leeches.

No one except his immediate family, relatives and cronies (those who stand to lose the most aka free-riding kanalotos), will vote for the gun-wielding, power-hungry and violent thug that is FRANK BAINIMARAMA and his cohort.

Meanwhile...the latest, Failed SDL Kaidia politician Rajesh Singh has been the 2006 take over. Who else disclosed the files on qoliqoli bill to Frank and all of Qarase moves.He was one of the instigators who needs to be taken to task,...NZ taking refugee of him without knowing his involvement in pre 2006. Stay tuned ...files unfolding on this guy.....

The strategy is very simple and you all have to wait for the new constitution to come out. Whether I contest the elections or not is irrelevant. What is important is my survival after 2014. I have looked at a few examples like Zimbabwe, Burma, Chile, Syria, etc. Fiji will have to accept the situation it is in and that I am in this for the long haul. I have no other choice now. As for Khaiyum, he is not as smart as he thinks he is and he's expendable.

@ Anon 10.34 AM If as you say "Bainimarama is behind Dharam Lingham" I can believe that because the idiotic ranting and rambling is quite a giveaway!If Dharam Lingam is another Bainimarama sucker I can understand why Bainimarama is BEHIND him!

Rajesh and Ro kepa are elected mp.They will become mp again .people commenting get real and start liking your words after 2014 election.Ro Kepa and Rajesh have helped many people .whom did you help people ? scary cats cant put your name .Shame on you lamulamu

KEPA AND RAJESH FOR SDL 2014 ELECTION .PEOPLE ALREADY WAITING TO VOTE .SIR LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING TO BTRAK YOU DOWN DONT GIVE UP KEEP THE FIGHT LIKE MARAMA SAID SDL IS JUST STARTING NOW.LET THE RUVE FLY .WE WILL VOTE SDL INN.WE HAVE WAITED FOR 6 YEARS ALREADY .CAN T WAIT FOR ELECTION NOW SIR AND MADAM.

Fiji, we should brace ourselves to yet another five years of this regime leadership, the bigest province in Fiji Ba has shown their support to Bainimarama,

Ro Temumu Kepa is Fiji's only hope,and maybe the only answer Fiji is looking for, she is ready, and her people are ready, because she is by far the only high chief standing.

We need someone like her, no man stood up in times of need, she did, she will fight to the end, her motto should be, NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER" to u all that criticise this chief, where were you when Fiji needed you, hiding with your chief I surpose? So don't point finger, Lailai na vana, levu ga vuni.. grow up and from her.

My first blog on this site. What an incredible rude and uneducated person is this Dharam Lingam. Politeness costs nothing and is the mark of a man irrespective of his views. How can one debate with such a person.

Editor,I can understand Fr Barr's relieve and his expression of " gratitude to the government" for its stance to reverse it's decision to deport him just 24 hours earlier (Fiji Times 27/1). But the reversal has Not come because the government realised the folly of its decision.and decided to magnanimously do the right thing by the 76 year old priest cum social worker.The reversal has come because many people both at home and abroad have told the Fiji Military Dictatorship to stop being an arsehole!Fr Barr should be grateful to them. He no doubt is.Sincerely,Rajend Naidusydney

Sadly, he is emblematic of the mindset of those few people who still slavishly support this corrupt and treasonous regime. Many believe he is actually Bainimarama's intellectually-challenged son. Most of us now just ignore him.

Englishman we do not want to hear your opinion. We kicked out you “Lames” out in 1970. If only you white farts would not have practiced “divide and rule “policy, not on Fiji but the whole world would have been a better place. Your inferiority complex has made it hard for the entire world to live in harmony. So do yourself a favor and just not butt in our biz. Just FO.

@ EnglishmanInclude Fijian Man in the list of idiots that should be avoided like the plague for an intelligent, rational debate.The British were NOT kicked out of Fiji. That is a deliberate distortion of Fijian history. The Fijian Man is a LiaR!!

Komai/others.Read this .I Rajesh Singh will not contest 2014 Election I will support SDL Party that it. stop wasting my time and i will not respond to you bloggers any more.I have to start looking for funds to help SDL.VinakaRajesh

Hahaha. You guys keep talking about the need for dynamic new leaders, but who do you come up with? A cowardly, traitorous, corrupt thug with no schooling and an abysmal record as Fiji's unwanted dictator.

Temumu Kepa, Qarese, Mahen, Mick and the likes have no place in modern politics in Fiji. There is no place for dumb, nationalists, arrogant, self-centered, and corrupt people in New Fiji. The above mentioned and the likes can only do themselves good by becoming obsolete and disappear. None of them have anything that we want from. Now if Ratu Mosese Varasikete would have been around, I would have stood by him and given him my utmost support.

Why, why should Driti or Mara ever be allowed to wear the uniform again, much less be allowed to retain their commissions and given commands? They committed treason. TREASON! Doesn't that mean anything to you?

MARA AND DRITI ARE WELL EDUCATED THAN THE COMMANDER .THEY STAND UP FOR JUSTICE .AND TRUTH AGAINST KHAIYUM AND FRANK MERRY MENS.WE HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR DRITI AND MARA THAN YOU ASHOLE ARMY OFFICERS FOR SUCKING AND TALKING ILLEGAL ORDERS FROM YOUR COMMANDER .WHO HAVE COMMITTED TREASON AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL .COUP THE LEGAL ELECTED GOVT.FRANK GOVT IS ILLEGAL.ANY WAY.

Komai you were caught with kahiyum having affair .you gone kuku and harping for your qori partner in crime.komai keep sucking the regime polo.dont make the boss angry. he will lock you up like he did to others.keep sucking and taking khaiyum masters orders.

Never mind him. He'll be re-assigned to another unit, just like that moron who used to call himself 'Phylosophical'. That's today's RFMF -- making Fiji safe for Chinese organised crime whilst defending us from democracy.

Little boys said daddy why fijian army fighting fijians.I told him son fijian army are controlled by some uneducated people for selfish gain.Little boy said daddy we should go away i dont want to see fijian army killing us and my friends.l i said son we have to live in fiji bec we all are fijian.he said daddy i want peace .teacher told us bible said. we should love one another.why army hating na and tatalevu..i cried and said son we will go for your future to australia..i hope we all will learn from our children and make fiji a better place than hating each other.

What? The Vore wants to stand for election?? OMG!!!!He is going to be in a HELL a lot of surprise!!If his so called soldiers are embarrassed, disappointed, disoriented, questioning [albeit silently]his leadership, then what about the masses who are honestly and truly just bloody, bloody fed up with this Pig!!Interesting to know what happens when he loses at the elections!!There are two scenarios me thinks. Either he will carry out ANOTHER coup or he will retire to Kiuva with all the wealth, money and kickbacks he has stashed away at our expense.Either way, it will JUDGEMENT Frank!! THAT I ASSURE YOU! ONE DAY MAFATO!! MUBARAK, SADDAM, QADDAFI AND OH, BIN LADEN!! Where are they now??Rotting in hell, where you too [and your family, friends and supporters] will also be!!

All kai Rewa stood up like their chief, man, almost all chiefs in Fiji either hides or joined the illegal regime, but the lady, the high chief of Rewa refuses to back down, she was arrested, threatened, and were called all sorts of names, but she refused to surrender, thats my kind of chief, thats my commander in chief.

Madam, you are by far the most influential chief let alone woman in Fiji's history, you stand up for what is right, and you stand up for your people and the people of Fiji as a whole

Let me assure you, that you've won my vote, and if people of this beloved nation can not see that and vote for you, than I don't know what really is going on in Fiji, what kind of leadership do they really want?

DOES BAI AND ASK KNOW THAT AFTER ELECTION .NEW GOVT CAN RECIND ALL THE DECREES AND MAKE NEW LAWS AND AMEND THE CONSTITUTION..SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ALL THIS WASTE OF TIME FOR NEW CONSTITUTION AND OTHERS. I FORGOT ALL THIS IS ILLEGAL ANY WAY LIKE THE REGIME.

President Bush and Obama are tactical and respected leaders that UN needs to lead. Not Dictator like Frank.UN should have clean and strong leader .who set example to other leaders of the world.My vote goes for President Obama.UN Members Nation should make very strong statement to get rid of all Dictators of the worldNo place for dictators in UN .United Nation should be an example.

You guys have to understand why I do what I do. I don't care about Fiji. I have to think of my children, and therefore I have to be in this for the long haul. I'll be dead in about 10 years anyway. Wait for the new constitution to see what the future will be. Fiji belongs to me.

Good on you anon 312pm UN need better leaders than bainimara.I remember the quote of Sec of State Mrs Clinton that all Dictators of the world have to go.I hope and pray USA really get rid of all Dictators asap.So people can enjoy freedom and Democracy in the World..

Haha maybe Ro kepa fooled you.She was playing a cunning game.She knew her status as female and chief protected her from army. So it was false bravado on her part. Army did smart thing and left her alone.Soon she became irrelevant.

Haha, you stupid to think she was fighting for us.She was fighting for her own MP seat and money.She tried to portray she was fighting for people.She tried to get Rewans to rise against the military.She wasn't concerned about her people dying.Just concerned about using her people to get back her MP's seat.

Let me assure you, Ro lady does not get my vote. We fed up of cunning chiefs who use us.

Na viavia levu sa kauti bainimarama tu qo and look where it has got him.I dunno whether you a Fijian or Indian but I know even Indians respected the chiefs and they have realized that now even the labour party. When Fiji was ceeded to the UK the Queen mentioned that in chaos and strife the chief was the last line of common sense and good leadership.Have some respect and muria nomu i yatu.

Nailatiulukau is another useless chief.Iloilo was a "weak" chief. Taken adavantage of by the Pig.Chief Wahwah Crybaby of Vanuatu - a wannabe chief.Inoke Kubuabola another corrupt useless chief.Started out good but ended up a traitor to the people of Fiji. Arsehole!

Whatever she has done wrong in the past, at least Teimumu is standing up for her people.I support her 100%

Problem is you are judging by the person not the position that was GOD given.We respect the Chiefly Title. Just like the Fiji Military is a respected institution and the Government of Fiji not Bainimarama and his goons who has buried it to the ground and have brought shame on respectability.Na vakatulewa mai vei ira na Turaga ni Vanua e na Liu tu ga. Me vaka ga e da kila na noda i tovo but for some have decided to forget their identity all together and create a new identity for themselves.GOD BLESS FIJI.

Anon Jan 27 2013 7.07amDont try to guess history dumbo. Let me refresh you why RTD is the head of a confederacy.Rewan chiefs killed the Kadavu chiefs and talatalas where Richmond school is today and took back 100 bodies to Lomanikoro for the cannibal feast ( a usual occurance in those days in Bau and Rewa & Somosomo- read accounts of early missionaries). That subjugated Kadavu. Nadroga wasnt conquered but paid homage to Rewa as a sign of support to the RTD- it was in effect a vassal state. The current Tui Nadroga is again in full support is our fight for freedom. So get on board or get left behind.Its no surprise that RTD is now leading the fight for freedom for all of us. Stop your pettiness and lets stand up with her and the SDL/FLP to rid our nation of scum.

this man who calls himself a leader swears like a thug,behaves like a thug,is a THUG and nothing more.people of Fiji must rise up to this man before his tyranny overtakes our lives and our children 's future.He is a thug and nothing more.

Those who are saying the votes will be rigged , there will be officials that will be dealing with the votes of course but there's no use saying that cause mind you when he wins that's the only explanation you can think of 'the elections were rigged' ! We the Fijians are so ignorant Qarase stole money from you for his own personal gain - get It through your thick skulls ! I dont adore bainimarama but he did a great job cleaning up the piece of shit u voted for ! Qarase didn't give a shit about the poor ! Look around you : the developments that have taken place since 2006 , don't say that you can't see the huge difference ! The people that appreciate that will vote for him , definitely not you brainwashed gullable people that have so much respect for these adis and ratus that don't give two hoots if you're dead or alive !

sorry mate but you are wrong...baini could not prove that LQ and his government was corrupt;you are obviously quite happy to live off the benefits from crime and illegality, dictatorships, lies and straight out thieving of the common people of fiji..poisned ivy and poisoned chalis; the poison will slowly eat them away..and when your granchildren will be paying for the socalled developments instead of looking after you in your old age..you might change your mind and repent for enjoying the stolen fruits

To anon @ 12.10pm.Hey u stole my thunder!But no worries.I concurr with your views on the illegal means by which the current regime acquired the substantial loans from China and the cursings,shraaps, and ka kasivi coming generations will invoke upon them when they have to pay back the huge loans. Like theyve done in sub-saharan Africa, the compound interest will be burden them to bakruptcy.Civil servants earning $15,000 pa now will have their kids earning the same in 25 years time(one generation)in real terms, if you factor in inflation and cost of living adjusments.They will question: who the hell got us in this financial morasse?
